SAGA (not twilight) Curse of the Shadow



Well, the title of this flick in the download world was Dragon Lore, Curse of the Shadow, that’s why it immediately caught my attention. The last dragon movie that really kicked butt was Reign of Fire, so I got my hopes up that this one could be an awesomeness contender.

The opening scene definitely included a dragon without delay, but it was short lived considering that an Elf shot it down dead. Riding that beautiful dragon was an Orc. Hmmm elves, Orcs, Dragons, do we hear The Lord of the Rings ? Yes, all creatures are great adaptations from the block buster movie. FX & visual effects were impressive but the story went a bit dawdling & fight scenes were noticeably long-drawn-out. Still, you will be kept on your seat waiting for that WOW scene. In the end, the conclusion was too easy, too simple a confrontation for the hero & villain. Actually I can’t really call the God of Death a villain at all cause he hardly put up a fight. So if you guys are expecting fight scenes between Gods & Mortals ala Clash of the Titans, this is not the movie for you.


Overall, it was a tolerable watch although I have to admit that some may fall asleep while watching it LOL, mind you – I didn’t. I have a long range of tolerance hehehe
